Skote Outdoors
We're Matty and Kelly Clarke, living off-grid on a remote island off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada — restoring an abandoned house and building a working homestead from the ground up. It’s just the two of us and our dogs, Ronnie and Bluebell.
These videos follow the real, day-to-day work of island life: hauling livestock by boat, building fences and shelters, clearing land by hand, making sea glass jewelry, cooking from scratch, and creating a life in a place that was once a thriving outport community — now quiet for over 50 years.
Before the island, Matty spent years living in wild places across Canada — from building log cabins in the Yukon, to primitive survival in the desert, to off-grid living deep in the woods with just a dog and a pack. That chapter laid the groundwork for what we're building now.

Happy Sunday Skote’s. Just wanted to let you all know that it was an extra crazy week out here and we ran out of time to do our Q&A at the end of the video like usual. Video may be a little spotty but next week we should be back as normal. On a massive side note… Kelly and myself got hitched! Thank you all so much for your love and support. ❤️

I know it's been pretty quiet around here lately, Skotes. But I promise you that the work hasn't stopped. I am currently in the Arctic attempting to row 2000 + miles from west to east and proper filming the entire thing to share with you all. Here are a few snaps from our trip so far. We have a starlink aboard for the trip, so I will try and get some updates for you as we go.
